Chikunova about the European Swimming Championships in Romania: “Without me it won’t be very interesting there”

Swimming world record holder Evgenia Chikunova believes that the European Championships without her will not be very interesting.

Chikunova is the world record holder in the 200m breaststroke.

— Tanya (Schoonmaker) congratulated me very warmly on my birthday and was one of the first to hold a world record. It’s good that in our foreign community there are very good people and of course they make up the majority,” Chikunova told , talking about communication with colleagues from other national teams.

— What can you say about the next European Championship?

— More or less, it’s clear who will win what, but I don’t know, it won’t be particularly interesting there without me.

The European Short Course Swimming Championships will take place in Romania from December 5 to 10. Russian swimmers have been suspended from competitions held under the auspices of European Aquatics.
